Internet phenomenon? Sign of our times? — frank

incel = involuntarily celibate

There could be billions of people on earth right now, including men women children seniors etc... who want sex but don't have it. Therefore they are all incels.

There is also billions who could be vcel: voluntarily celibate, because they don't want herpes and child support or many other harmful things that come from sex.

consciousness may not exist outside of ones own material brain — Anonymys

brain may not exists outside of ones own spiritual consciousness

meditation is another important aid in this direction. — Apollodorus

clueless babble — jgill

Abstract models often seem like 'babble' to people who prefer a more direct and practical approach.

Whose Consciousness makes up mind and matter? — Anonymys

There is no evidence of any other consciousness's or other minds.

so there is no such thing as a strong or weak individual. "Strong" is just a bigger mob. — Enrique

Strong (on a fundamental level) is any pattern that can destroy / consume any other pattern.

Yes the strongest force in a country is the united citizens in that country. Which is the foundation for freedom and rights. Because if you don't give those that strongest force will just come and take them.

denying the existence of a continuous self — sime

We don't need to disprove/deny a negative(something with no evidence).

It's impossible to prove to someone their consciousness is not eternal.

sometimes they very deliberately set out to NOT have children — Bitter Crank

Many men will put in deliberate effort now to avoid having children due to the tyranny of child support laws. Which isn't really an avoidance of children but an avoidance of tyranny.

good in the afterlife to any finite evil. — Down The Rabbit Hole

-Good and evil

-Good and bad

-Right and wrong

are 3 different things

Good/evil and right/wrong pertain to human behavior and nothing more.

Good/bad is basically just labels we stick on anything we associate to pleasure or pain.

Consciousness = soul, god, self, identity, presence, here, now, experience, evidence, omniscience, eternity, infinity, etc...

All those things are intrinsic to it. So self is not a problem. Self and consciousness are the same thing. You don't need to think to exist. Read/Watch some Eckhart Tolle.

Far enough a way the earth looks like a shapeless blip
Closer, like a sphere
Closer, flat — Yohan

Farther away in space and it doesn't even exist.

Farther away in time, back or forward, and it also doesn't even exist.

Where does the creativity of AI come from? — D2OTSSUMMERBUG

There is no AI because intelligence doesn't exist. It's just a process.

Storing sense data as memory and then comparing current sense data to past memory in order to predict and therefore act "intelligently" which is really just 'predictively'. and the only reason this is needed is because our bodies are too weak to survive without it.

We have to predict because we are so very weak.

consciousness to a kind of thing — Constance

Ya, the most amazing thing, and the only thing, in existence.

akin to God.

how it is that consciousness and mind are different — Constance

Mind = thoughts and beliefs

Consciousness = awareness, being, presence.

desire to live in harmony with a higher reality and to be your true self. — Apollodorus

You don't need 'examination' for that. Only surrender.

ind and matter are both elements of some overarching system maybe. — Pantagruel

That overarching system is consciousness itself.

Because for a statement to be true, it must have happened in reality. — Corvus

True statement can happen anywhere. Superman can say 1+1=2 and even though he doesn't exist that statement is still true.

I hope that I have unified Mind, Brain, and Consciousness — Anonymys

I'll unify them for you: mind and matter are both made of consciousness.

The earth is not flat, it's a rhombicosidodecahedron, which is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces.

I got perma banned from facebook and now when I login to my banned account it gives me the option to download all my content.

I gues they are saving it forever lol

a theory of consciousness — Anonymys

Mind, brain, consciousness, conscience, beliefs, are 5 completely different things.

but we all gotta be respected enough to live at the very least, even when expectations have to change, unless you want dystopia — Enrique

The strong can wipe out the weak anytime they want to, and it will just make them stronger. This is the law of the universe, which supersedes all human laws.

A strong person does not need to respect a weak person. It's the weak person that should be respecting the strong person. But nowadays the weak are all hoarding together and trying to take out the strong. Which is stupid because it wont work, it will just make them weaker.

whose knowledge I can never have complete access to — Joshs

I AM it's knowledge

I look within myself and I see a fabrication by omniscience.

I don't need knowledge of my own because I'm already perfect and complete as I AM.

and anyone who contradicts my being is automatically and instantly proven ignorant. Because my being comes from something a trillion times greater than the doubts and judgments from a limited human mind.

When you go beyond your own doubts and judgments you will simultaneously go beyond all doubts and judgments from every mind on earth.

If you already know the true nature then you'd best share it with everyone — Pantagruel

Mind and matter are both made of consciousness.

living an examined life — Shawn

Or maybe 'examination' of life is really just a hidden attempt to control it to alleviate your irrational doubts towards it.

How so racist in my views? — Leghorn

"Racist" is a modern day catch-all word used against anyone that is against the snowflake socialism mentality.

Only thing you can do nowadays is to play the victim like everyone else. Otherwise you will be lynched as a "racist".

Forest for the trees.

I was created by something a trillion times greater then your minds doubts.

Therefore not only do I have no self doubts, but the very things you doubt are my greatest strengths.

Complexity starts after the big bang. — Pop

Complexity cannot 'start'.

That is magical thinking, a fantasy. illogical.

It doesn't sound like you read much of thread you commented upon. — Valentinus

It doesn't sound like you read much of thread you commented upon.

If function follows form, there is a causality at play. — Pop

Neither mind nor brain follow each other. They happen at the same time.

If you want to talk about people then host a talk show like Oprah lol

What have you got to hide — Apollodorus

Like I already said: my true identity in the real world.

On here I am Neo, in the real world I am Mr. Anderson.

I thought I was observing that principle. — Valentinus

Stop talking about me, and stop talking about yourself. and start talking about the ideas being presented. Get it?

neural correlates — Pop

Correlation is not causation.

Attack the argument, not the person making it.

you write books. What are they called, and where can we can get them? — Apollodorus

Then I would have to reveal my real name, which is against the rules and a violation of my privacy.

duh

haters gonna hate

Your conclusions are less interesting than your process. — Valentinus

Because my conclusions are too far ahead.
